Just one day before leaving Baihe Town, Aunt Fang sent Mammy Yu to come to Li to say that she wanted to meet Ren Yaoying.
Ren Yaoying has not been out since the last time Ren Yaoying was locked up by the third master Ren. Later, according to Ren Shimin's request, Mrs. Li found a nanny for Ren Yaoying to teach her the rules again. Shi and Ren Yaohua rushed back, and Ren Yaoying was left in Yunyang City.
Before, because of a major incident in the Ren family, no one in the Ren family paid special attention to the presence or absence of a concubine. At this moment, Mrs. Li realized that Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua, and Ren Yihong had all returned to Baihe Town, but she only left Ren Yaoying. It is not appropriate to be alone in Yunyang City.
Ren Yaoqi thought that when they came back, Aunt Fang should have known that Ren Yaoying didn't come back together, and she must have secretly inquired about the reason. The wife angered her because of the matter of the Zeng family, so that not only would she not be able to stand up for Ren Yaoying, but even her own situation would be embarrassing.
Now that the crisis of the Ren family has basically been lifted, and Mrs. Ren's health has gradually improved, Aunt Fang finally couldn't help but bring up the matter of Ren Yaoying.
Mrs. Li asked Mammy Zhou to go out and go back to Mama Yu, saying that Ren Yaoying had been fined by Mr. Ren San for thinking behind closed doors for making a mistake, and Mama Yu went back after hearing it.
Ren Yaohua said with a cold face: "Jing will make people feel uncomfortable!"
Li Shi sighed: "Yaoying came out of her stomach, and it's not wrong for her to think about it."
Ren Yaohua frowned and said to Ren Yaoqi: "Now the East and West houses have been separated, and all the properties in Jiangnan belong to the uncle's house. Even if the Ren family's business in the south still needs the care of the Fang family, with us Fang doesn't have much to do with it, shouldn't she be a human being with her tail between her legs?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, and based on her knowledge of Grandpa Ren, it was unlikely that Grandpa Ren would really hand over all of Jiangnan's properties to Dongfu, and this separation might be an expedient measure.
She smiled and said to Ren Yaohua, "How much has the Ren family invested in those coal depots in the south of the Yangtze River? Naturally, it is impossible to give up if you give up, so the relationship between the Fang family still needs to be used."
Aunt Fang knows the nature of Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren as much as she does, so she naturally knows when to be a low-key person and when to seek benefits for herself.
After Grandpa Ren came back, the Ren family didn't look for anything to make Auntie Fang by hair. Auntie Fang must have a clue in her heart. This time, before they left Baihe Town, they should also try to test the attitude of Grandpa Ren and the old lady when they asked to see Ren Yaoying. the meaning of.
Sure enough, not long after, Mrs. Ren came over and asked Mrs. Li to question her.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua went with the Li family.
The old lady Ren called Mrs. Li to ask about Ren Yaoying.
Li told Ren Yaoying to go out privately and was punished by Mr. Ren San.
Originally, Mr. Ren San wanted to punish his daughter, and it was true that Mr. Li couldn't say anything when Ren Yaoying was at fault. But if you don't like a person, you will feel that she is wrong even if she doesn't do anything.
So Mrs. Ren, who never liked Li's family, lectured Li's family for a while, and she said, "Don't tell me there's nothing wrong with you! Aren't you in charge of the inner courtyard? She can go out if she wants to, yours. What are people doing to eat? Can anyone who wants to enter your inner courtyard be able to enter your inner courtyard?"
Li lowered his head and said nothing.
Ren Yaohua wanted to speak up to defend Li, but Ren Yaoqi shook his head at her. The old lady Ren deliberately wanted to attack the Li family, and Ren Yaohua's confrontation with the Li family would only add fuel to the fire.
Ren Yaohua pursed her lips and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Mrs. Ren looked at Mrs. Li and said, "If you can't manage the yard well, I will assign someone to you!"
Ren Yaohua was startled: "Grandma, don't you want Aunt Fang to go?"
The old lady Ren glared at her when she heard the words: "Shut up! I haven't settled your account with you!" The old lady turned her head and instructed Shan Shan, "Go and let the Mai Dong family come in."
Ren Yaohua frowned and glanced at Ren Yaoqi.
After a while, Shan Shan walked in with a middle-aged woman in her early forties wearing a navy blue robe.
After the middle-aged woman greeted the old lady Ren and the master present, the old lady Ren pointed to her and said to Mrs. Li: "This is from Mai Dong's family, this time you brought her to Yunyang City, Just let her take care of the inner courtyard for you."
Ren Yaohua critically looked up and down at Mai Dong's family, and pouted, "Grandmother, where did you find her? She wasn't the one who served her, right? Why are you so obsessed? Even if you want to give her Can someone serve you in your yard?"
Ren Yaohua's words were actually flattering the old lady Ren in disguise, Ren Yaoqi gave Ren Yaohua a surprised look.
The old lady Ren's face turned a lot better, and she said to Ren Yaohua, "Why is it not mine? Her mother used to be my dowry maid, and she was very capable. Later, she married the big shopkeeper of Jizhou Coal Depot."
Is she really the old lady? It's really hard to say no now.
Ren Yaoqi pondered that the old lady Ren came here today because she was not worried that they would be independent from the Ren family's control, so she wanted to find a "person" to watch them. The matter of Ren Yaoying is just an excuse. She will find an excuse to stuff people into their room with or without Ren Yaoying.
The elder Ci did not dare to resign, and the old lady Ren wanted to refer to the third room. Mrs. Li didn’t even have the slightest room to refuse, so she could only bow her head.
The old lady Ren was satisfied when she saw that Mrs. Li had accepted her: "Although Yaoying was not born by you, she is also your daughter. You will treat her with snacks in the future. She has been locked up for so long, and she has learned a lesson. , I'll let people go when I go back this time. She's not too young, so you don't need to worry about it for a few years."
Li Shi bowed his head again.
The old lady Ren turned her head and told Ren Yaoqi: "After returning to Yunyang City, you have to go to the Yanbei Palace to see the princess. Don't you still keep in touch with the county master? If the princess still refuses to see you, you can let the princess go. The county master will help you say a few good words in front of the princess!"
Before Ren Yaoqi could answer, the old lady Ren instructed the Mai Dong family who was standing on the side: "Remember to remind the Fifth Miss after you go to Yunyang City! I remember that you are literate. In the future, Fifth Miss When writing letters to the county master, you will serve the pen and ink, do you hear me?"
The Mai Dong family bowed their heads and responded with a "yes".
Seeing that Ren Yaoqi didn't speak, the old lady Ren cast her stern eyes on Ren Yaoqi again.
Ren Yaoqi and Mrs. Ren looked at each other, then smiled slightly: "Got it, grandmother."
Are you literate? It turns out that the old lady Ren sent Mai Dong's family to Yunyang City to monitor her interactions with the county master!
The old lady Ren was satisfied, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, you all go back. I still have some things to explain to the Ophiopogon family."
Mr. Li retired with Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua.
As soon as he left the Ronghua Courtyard, Ren Yaohua's face turned cold: "We shouldn't have done it just now! I don't know who the Mai Dong family is, why should they care about our inner courtyard?"
Li sighed and said, "There is no way to do this." The elders want to assign someone to you, and you can only take it with joy.
Ren Yaohua also understands this truth, so she couldn't say anything to refuse just now, but she still held back her anger and scolded in a low voice: "If that bitch Fang doesn't cause us some trouble, she will be completely numb. comfortable!"
Ren Yaoqi comforted her and said, "Okay, but she's just a daughter-in-law. It's worth your anger at yourself? No matter how big she is, she's just a slave.
Ren Yaoqi smiled, old lady Ren really thought that she could control Sanfang by just sending anyone from her? She can only resort to this trick.
After a night of silence, the Li family returned to Yunyang City with their two daughters the next day.
Ren Shimin left two days ago because he was going to the academy, and Ren Yihong also left first.
After returning to the residence in Yunyang City, both the Li family and the Ren Yaoqi sisters felt a sense of relief, even though Yunyang City's house was less than half the size of the Ren family's old house.
On the day after returning home, while Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were both in the Li family's room, Mammy Zhou asked how to settle the Mai Dong family.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and said, "It's arranged at the house of the stewards. Didn't my grandmother ask her to help my mother manage the inner courtyard? The warehouse will be handed over to her, and the account books will be handed over to her later."
"Is this... appropriate?" Mrs. Li hesitated.
Although Mr. Ren San has a wide range of hobbies, there are still many things in the warehouse of Sanfang, and most of them are quite valuable, but the management of the warehouse does not care about the personnel and scenery.
"What's wrong? Didn't grandma say that she is very capable? Then let us see what she can do! Otherwise, she is a newcomer and wants to take care of everything. Does she have that ability?" Ren Yaohua snorted coldly.
Ren Yaoqi's arrangement also wanted to explore the bottom of Mai Dong's family first, so as to know what kind of person she is to deal with.
